Abstract
THIS little book is a popular, but on the whole accurate, account of the best-known British mosses. The chapter on development, usually the weakest part of hand-books of this kind, is better than usual. We must however call attention to the confusion between “cuticle” and “epidermis” on p. 19, and to the unnecessarily bewildering description of the development of the spores on the following page.
Hand-book of Mosses, with an Account of their Structure, Classification, Geographical Distribution, and Habitats.
By James E. Bagnall (Swan Sonnenschein and Co., 1886.)
